Is there a file which contains the game input settings, keymaps, axis shaping etc. info, that i can save and restore after a re-install?

Just gave this mod a try, but could not see the roads (civilian routes). Tricked around with the graphics.cfg file, and found the casue its the line LandLodDistances. {............ L01 = 7000 seems to do it for me. (its 4000 by default with the tweak.......) Might help someone. Thanks

Yes Thanks Dredd, Yes I have tried that also. Have mapped it to the 'k' key, and made sure it was not used for anything else. Also mapped the 'k' key to my cougar. But same thing happens. It works fine both ways, manual key input, or pressing mappped button on cougar, But only for about 10 seconds. Then nothing more.

It sounds like you have'nt tried TIR and VE? In RL you don't use a button on the stick to look around, and in RL you can change you head position left an right, given the limits of the seat restraints. But the most important point, since this is a simulator, is the 'IMMERSION' factor. Its the 'sense' of realism, the feel of it. It makes as much of a difference to immersion, as a good Hotas does.

TIR is not different from other hardware such as graphic boards. It continues to be improved. Would you buy a graphics board 3 months before a game you needed it for was released ? You could but you would loose out. Don't feel hard done by if you've just bought one and the later on hits the streets. Like for all computer kit, there is no right time to buy, but when you do, be happy to get value from what you've purchased. my .02c

Great Track Rich. You make it look so easy. I was disappointed when it came to an end. I just cant get enough of your tutorials.... Hope the Video thing works out. It will capture your work for prosperity....Who knows, some future generation may define it as 'pure art'..

No it does not mean that. TIR pro with VE will give you 6DOF. With TIR4 you get a larger range of head movement, which the sensor will pick up.

So what about the guy who has a really good hotas setup, when compared with else, or someone with TIR and VR , or someone with high spec system and 'high frame' rates. There's no limit. Are we getting too hung making the fight even. Key is once you 'know' that the oponent can have between 0-100%, fuel and youve also got the choice, then game's on, and its fair. IMO....

If you can mantain a defensive fight, stay our of his gun sight, and extend, you can use his advantage to yours. In RL, in the unlikely event that a fight would become gunzo, You would not know the fuel state of your opponent.

I have read it but would recommend instead. Stirke Eagle, by William Smallwood. Much more engaging. or EveryMan a Tiger Chuck Horner's A/C of desert storm, scripted by Tom Clancy. (If you can get Janes 15 when you are reading strike eagle, its even more fun. )

Ive been playing sims since 1991, and two things for me have dramatically improved the 'immersion' 1. The first 3dfx graphics card with EF2000 2. TIR with VE, in FC. For me no contest. TIR. But then you will definitely want a good HOTAS.

Nice to see Natural point, continuing to develop this technology. I boght TIR3 pro, even though I had TIR2. But for me that was worth it. Especially with VE and much smoother. So i'm happy. The more they improve, the more people use it, the more support it gets, the more games which use it. And that's also good for us. So keep up the good work Natural point. Imagine F.E.A.R with TIR enhanced. Wow...

Thanks for the replies guys. Han, No utilities installd, only cat 5.10 driver for ATI. FC always with minimum of services in windows. Problem even occurs without cougar, or TIR! http://homepage.eircom.net/~fish44/Pictures/serviceslist.jpg Real funny thing is, i can do as many comms as i can manage keypresses for all good, but only for 10 secs into flight, then it all stops. Weird! Evil Scotsman, Re-installing windows is not a runner. Have tried installing FC on a different drive, clean registry etc. virgin, from Lomac, added 1.1, no changes to original config files. But same problem. I noted that u are using an Nvidia board. Was that the same when you had the problem?

Please, please................... tell me what is this 'New View utility' that you speak of. I have searched the FC website downloads/Files/Utilities, and can find no reference to it on this forum. And is it helpful or not? :(

So then you kill the enditall program when its done its job.

Here's another. It requires realplayer. Its Dallas Fort Worth rtsp://atc.caesimuflite.com/ramgen/broadcast/live.rm?usehostname

Thanks for the reply Han, but im sorry I don't understand your question.What kind of view utilty? When running FC, I close down non essential services, and only have what i really need, and this includes TIR and cougar CCP. List looks like http://homepage.eircom.net/~fish44/Pictures/serviceslist.jpg (But problem is the same with/without services,TIR or Cougar.) I overclock, but have tried it at stock speed, and same problem exists. When original lomac installed alone, no problems. But once i add FC, problem comes back. Nothing else different.! It is like a timer runs out at 10secs, and switches this functionality off, or maybe unmaps the key.!

Hi all. My radio comms button works for 10 secs into session first flight, then stops for all further flights in that session. I have tried re-installs on different drives, which were de-fragmented. No joy. Also tried it from a different key. It gives a problem with a virgin install of 1.1, no hotas, or changes to the config files, no patches, or mods. Comms works fine on original lock-on, throughout the flight. But once i apply flaming cliffs, problem is back. And 1.11 diden't fix it. Its a show stopper if I want to play offline with any level of realism. I've seen comments from others with this problem, but not many. Has anyone a real fix for this ? I have posted on this some time back, but got nowhere. Thanks

Have now installed the 1.11 patch, and no, its still not solved for me. Anyone experience it and solved it.....apart from reformat, and reinstall ?

Nice work Aarmram. Waiting patiently for the full movie. I can only imagine the amount time that's going into this one.

You are at the mercy of the Gods...... Good luck to you and yours......

Beautifiul stuff ICE. You have too much time on your hands........

Hud cursor, and corresponding MFD cursor all work fine for me from the same set of keys, in all aircraft, with both ground and air sensors. ,./; keys do the job all the time. Only thing thats different is the A2A radar scan cone, which are separate keys. I have them mapped to the 'shf' microstick movement on my cursor, and that seems to work fine.
